[Verses]

(same as intro)

A D G D

Breath and burning

A D G D

We are made of sand

A D G D

Slowly turning

A D G D

At the wave's command

A D G D

And what does it matter

A D G D

That the nightmares all came true

A D G D

The black crowds are scattered across the sky

A D G D

And there's nothing left we can do

D

But celebrate while the hurricane

A

Throws salt and water into the room

D

The canary died, the healer lied

A

The yellow fields disappeared too soon

D

Mid-air voltage blooms and grows

A

Unstoppable, it’s instant heat

D

And as sinners plea on bended knee

E

We’ll be dancing here for days

A D G D (x4)

Breath and burning

A D G D

We are made of sand

A D G D

Slowly turning

A D G D

At the wave's command

A D G D

And what does it matter

A D G D

That the end’s in sight

A D G D

We’re not going gently

A D G D

We’re gonna rage with Page at the dying of the light

Hey!

D

The sudden unexpected fate

A

Of sunken ships was our future path

D

Your string of beads did nothing to

A

Prepare for you what was sure to pass

D

Shadow wheels in shipping lanes

A

The angry winds blew straight from hell

D E

And the tourtise pulls its head inside its shell

It’ll be over soon

A D G D

Our head’s on a platter

A D G D

So let’s spin in the light of the moon

A D G D

We still got the light of the moon

A D G D

We’ll dance in the light of the moon

Hey!
